What's a megaproject you know is probably a bad idea, but would be sorely tempted to try if you were the leader of a wealthy country? (hexbear.net)

Interesting but the problem this seems to have is that they didn't populate it and they appear to have underestimated their maintenance costs with all the new free space.

It's also not actually as radical as I want it to be. The entire ground level should be all green space. It should be beautiful and well maintained on a daily basis by the city.

I do agree with some of the takes though about the lack of commercial areas. That's not even just a problem with people going outside but also a problem of convenience itself, things people need should be within 5-10 minutes walk from home.
